My version
of Love and Lemons vegan oatmeal cherry chocolate cookies is a gluten free one.
I used a little less maple syrup, used white chocolate chips, organic butter
and raisins instead of sour cherries. Feel free to add whatever dried fruit you
like!

And be sure
to check out her beautiful, colourful, fresh and tasty site.

You’ll need for 30 cookies:

2 tbsp
ground flax seeds

6 tbsp warm
water

1 cup
buckwheat flour

½ cup of brown
rice flour

½ cup
tapioca starch

1 tsp
tartaric acid baking powder

1 tsp
cinnamon

½ tsp sea
salt

2/3 cup organic butter on room temperature or melted coconut oil for a vegan version

1 cup brown
sugar

¼ cup maple
syrup

1 tbsp
vanilla extract

2 cups gluten
free rolled oats

1 cup
raisins

½ cup white
chocolate chips

First pre-heat
the oven on 350°F/180°C and put a sheet of baking paper on a baking tray.

1. in the
mixing bowl stir together the ground flax seeds with the warm water. Set aside.

2. in
another bowl mix together the flours, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In different
small bowls you weigh out the rolled oats, raisins and chocolate chips.

3. put the
butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and vanilla extract in the mixing bowl with
the flax mixture and mix for about 2-3 minutes until well combined.

4. with a
spatula mix in the flour mix in parts till a sticky dough forms. Then the rolled
oats, the raisins and the chocolate chips. Stir till all is well combined and a
heavy dough has formed.

5. scoop
heaped tablespoons of dough on the baking tray and with a wet hand flatten the
cookies. They do not run, at least mine didn’t. I baked 12 at a time in the
middle of the oven for 12-15 minutes. They are done when the outer edges turn
brown. Keep a look at them, every oven is different!

6. very
carefully remove them with a flat spoon on a cooling rack and bake the next
portion till all the dough has turned into these great cookies!

Over mij

Since november 2007 celiac disease has been diagnosed with me and did I start with the gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I'm very interested in health and food issues. And besides, I Love Cooking. I think cooking is creating. I'm not content with the gluten free range of products in the shops in Holland, so I make most of the food myself. I think gluten free food must be healthy, real food, but above all very tasty. Also non-celiacs must (and they do!) enjoy my food.
I am 50 years old and I live, together with my son, in Rotterdam, Holland.***
Sinds november 2007 is bij mij coeliakie geconstateerd en ben ik begonnen met een glutenvrij dieet. Ik ben erg geïnteresseerd in gezondheid en voeding. Daarnaast ben ik gek op koken. Ik ben niet tevreden over het aanbod van glutenvrije artikelen in de winkels, dus maak ik vrijwel alles zelf. Glutenvrij eten moet lekker zijn, gezond en ook voor niet-coeliakers aantrekkelijk zijn.
